Armed woman stops WV mass shooting, police say

she did the right thing

I don't know any other person would have done that

A woman in charleston is being credited for averting a

mass shooting Charleston

Police say it all started when this man 37 year

old Dennis Butler was speeding up and down the parking

lot

That's when he was approached by people attending a graduation

party and a birthday party asking him to slow down

His Children were playing

They said he seemed agitated and left but shortly after

he returned to the complex armed with an ar 15

style rifle and started shooting at the crowd

Police say a woman then pulled out her pistol shot

him and killed him

I will say on the charleston west Virginia case charleston

Police Department case

This lady was carrying a lawful firearm

Okay A law abiding citizen who stopped the threat of

Probably 20 or 30 people getting killed

She engaged the threat and stopped it

She didn't run from the threat she engaged it Preventing

a mass casualty here in Charleston police say Butler has

an extensive criminal history

Back in 2016 he was accused of shooting and pistol

whipping a 19 year old woman

But those charges were dismissed because no witnesses testified at

the pre trial hearing

Court records show

Butler had been convicted of two felonies in the past

meaning he should have never had a gun to begin

with

Not in 2016 and not on Wednesday night at the

Vista View apartments

She's just a member of the community Who was carrying

her firearm

Lawfully and instead of running from the threat she engaged

with the threat and saved several lives last night quick

actions that avoided a massive tragedy as we continue dealing

with the aftermath of a mass shooting that left 19

Children and two adults dead in Vivaldi Texas
